By Democrat reporterThe Lennox Herald is reporting that a woman who watched a vile rapist kick her pregnant mum three times in the stomach says the abuse she witnessed as a child will stay with her forever.
The victim went on to tragically lose a baby girl, her little sister, the daughter recalls.
Billy Lynch-White, pictured here, was handed an 18-year extended sentence in December for sickening crimes, including the assault and raping a number of women between 2006 and 2019.
A jury found the 47-year-old guilty of nine charges following a trial at Glasgow High Court.
He was also accused of using lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards the daughter of one of his victims but the jury found this charge not proven.
This woman, who was just a child at the time, said she was forced to listen and even witnessed her mum being attacked.
Lynch-White, whose last address was in Peterborough, was found guilty of raping a woman while she was asleep and incapable of giving or withholding consent on various occasions between 2010 and 2013 at another address in Renton and elsewhere. He also sexually assaulted her on various occasions between 2010 and 2013 while holding a pillow on her face.
On various occasions between 2017 and 2019 he raped another woman at an address in Wishaw, and on one occasion held a knife to her throat before raping her.
He was placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely when he was sentenced at Aberdeen High Court on December 3.
The woman praised the work of Police Scotland, with the senior investigating officer for the case also welcoming his conviction.
Detective Inspector Scott Hamilton said: “We welcome the conviction of Billy Lynch-White. His behaviour was completely unacceptable and the abuse will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on his victims.
“I hope this conviction provides a sense of closure and allows the victims to try to move on with their lives.
“Police Scotland takes all reports of sexual abuse very seriously and our specialist officers are here to provide support to victims and ensure perpetrators face justice.
“Anyone with information regarding this type of crime can contact Police Scotland through 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
